Pc upgrade + nas build

Hi, I'm planning to upgrade my pc and build a nas with the old components:

I now have

Ryzen 5 2400g

B450 Aorus Pro Gigabyte

I just bought this used mobo/cpu combo:

Ryzen 7 3700x

A520 Aorus Elite Gigabyte

 

Of course the 3700x is going in my pc and the 2400g in the nas, but I don't know what I should do with the motherboards. The A520 is a newer chipset but it's still an A chipset

A-series chipsets mean that there are less PCIE slots, less maximum RAM, and no overclocking, but if you are building a smaller NAS that doesn't need a lot of RAM or a crazy amount of GPUs, you should be fine. The A series motherboards don't have any less performance than B series do, though. Just less features.

The A520 doesn't support the 2400G, so there's only one functional arrangement between CPUs and motherboards.

I'll admit I didn't check before, but that cpu is listed in the compatibility list on gigabyte website, they even list first gen ryzens https://www.aorus.com/motherboards/a520-aorus-elite-rev-10/Support

This is the support page I was referencing: https://www.gigabyte.com/Motherboard/A520-AORUS-ELITE-rev-10/support#support-cpu

 

A520 shouldn't support 2000G-series, but weirder things have happened with AM4 compatibility... not sure why the two sites have such different lists for the same board. Even the specifications list doesn't include 2000G...

Yes it's weird, I will try when the board arrives, we'll see
